Excellent job. Added technology for check in process was a big time saver. I saw my provider before my scheduled appointment time.

I am not sure he really had a good picture of my left shoulder since he wanted to look at my right one instead.
5 stars
I never asked how long it would take to get an MRI scheduled. I figured I would get a call right away, but I haven't heard anything yet. I don't know how this works.
5 stars
40+ minute wait to be seen but the people were respectful and experience was good other than that.

My surgery ended up being a little more complicated then expected but the staff and Dr. Samuelson explained it to me and drew pictures to show what they will do and it went as smoothly as possible. This is my 3rd ortho surgery at OrthoNebraska and all went perfectly.
